In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.

Office Work
Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.

Design and Gaming
This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.

Now, this laptop should be a pretty decent catch for students, and people using their device for daily tasks, as sending mail, browsing the Web, and so on. However, it is no slouch, given the fact that the powerful Tiger Lake CPUs can be paired with up to a GeForce MX450. This will provide some gaming capability, and should keep the battery life [...]

Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

Remove the bottom plate As usual, HP is playing the find the screw game, this time trying to hide four Phillips-head screws under the two rubber feet. In addition to that, undo the other two, which are visible, and pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool. 2. Battery Interestingly, this laptop is equipped with a 41Wh battery pack, which is sma[...]
